Tom Fabritius finds his motifs in the flood of images on television. Equipped with a camera, he zaps through the programmes and quickly and intuitively captures individual image moments. From this conglomeration he selects individual images, which he then paints in watercolour - not photorealistically, but a little strikingly, reduced in front of a partly stylised background. By translating them into watercolour, the artist fixes the typical nature of these pictorial worlds.
